Talks About Living in Bethel Hall


“What I loved about living in Bethel was being in a suite — it automatically gave me 12 new friends. Having such a big group of friends made me feel so welcome and at home. They were my mini family.

The best part was the diversity and being able to appreciate everyone’s differences — we had music, business, and English majors, athletes, and girls from all over the country. They’ve made a big impact on my college experience, and we all still keep in touch.”
